POLAR TEMPO RECEIVER The estimated average battery life of the Polar Tempo wrist receiver is 1 year in normal use (2h/day, 7 days a week). However, because the battery is inserted at the factory, the actual life of your first battery once in your possession may be less than the estimated battery life.
